Node.cpp is an interesting beast, an implementation of Node.js-like APIs on top of C++. Having about 5x performance advantage (as well as features such as post-mortem debugging), it can really be seen as “Node.js on steroids”.
Node.cpp Team is headed by Dmytro Ivanchykhin, a mathematician by trade (which comes handy to help our other teams), and a top-level C++ developer at heart. He has a bunch of articles on math and programming under his belt.
